TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 5 L glass culturing vessels
- Method used to create aerobic conditions: The culture vessels were sealed and CO2-free air bubbled through the solution at a rate of approx. 40 mL/min. and stirred continuously by magnetic stirrer.
- Test performed in open system: No
- Details of trap for CO2 and volatile organics if used: The CO2 produced by degradation was collected in two 500 mL Dreschel bottles containing 350 mL of 0.05 M NaOH. The CO2 absorbing solutions were produced using purified de-gassed water.
- Other: Approx. 24 h prior to addition of the test and standard materials, the vessels were filled with 2400 mL of culture medium and 29 mL of inoculum and aerated overnight. On Day 0 the test and standard materials were added and the volume in all the vessels adjusted to 3 L by the addition of culture medium.
SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency:
CO2 analysis - Days 0, 2, 6, 8, 10, 14, 21, 28 and 29 from the control, standard and test material first CO2 absorber vessels. Days 0, 2, 6, 8, 10 and 14 from the toxicity control first CO2 absorber vessel. Days 0 and 29 from the control, standard and test material second CO2 absorber vessels. Day 0 from the toxicity control second CO2 absorber vessel.
DOC analysis - Day 0 from all culture vessels and Day 28 from the control, standard and test material.
- Sampling method:
CO2 analysis - Samples (300 or 50 µL) were injected into the IC (Inorganic Carbon) channel of the TOC analyser (Tekmar-Dohrmann Apollo 9000 TOC analyser and Shimadzu TOC-Vcsh TOC analyser). Inorganic carbon analysis occurs by means of the conversion of an aqueous sample to CO2 by orthophosphoric acid using zero grade air as the carrier gas. Calibration was done by standard solutions of sodium carbonate. Each analysis was carried out in triplicate.
DOC analysis - Samples (27, 13 or 50 µL) were injected into the Total Carbon (TC) and Inorganic Carbon (IC) channels of the TOC analyser (Shimadzu TOC-5050A TOC analyser and Shimadzu TOC-Vcsh TOC analyser). Total carbon analysis was carried out at 680 °C using a platinum-based catalyst and zero grade air as the carrier gas. Inorganic carbon analysis involves conversion by orthophosphoric acid at ambient temperature. Calibration was performed using standard solutions of potassium hydrogen phthalate and sodium carbonate in deionised water. Each analysis was carried out in triplicate.
CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: Yes
- Toxicity control: 261.3 mL of the test material stock solution was dispersed in inoculated culture medium along with 51.4 mL of the sodium benzoate stock solution. The volume was adjusted to 3 L to give a final concentration of 174.2 mg test material/L plus 17.1 mg sodium benzoate/L, equivalent to a total of 20 mg carbon/L.

- Details on results:
- The test material attained 90% degradation after 28 d and satisfied the 10 d window validation criterion, whereby 60% degradation must be attained within 10 d of the degradation exceeding 10%. The test material can therefore be considered to be readily biodegradable under the conditions of the experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- 1. Total CO2 evolution on Day 28 was 31.75 mg/L 2. IC content of test material at the start of test was below 5% of the TC content 3. Difference between values for CO2 production at the end of test for replicate vessels was <20%
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the test substance is considered to be readily degradable as it attained 90% degradation within 28 d and the pass level of 60 % was reached within 10 d of exceeding the 10 % level.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability inositol phosphates in an aerobic aqueous medium. The method followed OECD Guideline 301B, Method C.4-C of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 and US EPA Fate, Transport, and Transformation Test Guidelines OPPTS 835.3110 (Paragraph (m)).
The test substance, at a concentration of 10 mg carbon/L, was exposed to activated sewage sludge micro-organisms with culture medium in sealed culture vessels in the dark at approximately 2oC for 28 d.
The degradation of the test material was assessed by the determination of carbon dioxide produced. Control solutions with inoculum and the standard material, sodium benzoate, together with a toxicity control were used for validation purposes.
The test material attained 90% degradation after 28 d and satisfied the 10 d window validation criterion, whereby 60% degradation was attained within 10 d of exceeding 10% degradation. The test substance can therefore be considered to be readily biodegradable under the conditions of the experiment.
